Padres' catchers work well in tandem | padres.com: News
The success of the Padres' catching tandem of veteran Yorvit Torrealba and youngster Nick Hundley is not best epitomized by a clutch hit or key defensive play, though each player has provided both this season.

It’s not always an easy slide - SignOnSanDiego.com
"I never had doubts that I could play in the major leagues," Ludwick said last weekend. "But for awhile there, I wasn’t getting anywhere for a variety of reasons. I give myself credit for perseverance. In a way, the injuries, what happened along the way, made me better.

"Some people think I'm funny, most people think I'm crazy, but it has still been fun and I appreciate everyone reading and commenting over the past year."

Good Luck Whitson :: Friar Forecast
"until Tate, Whitson and whomever the Padres choose next year become productive major leaguers there will continue to be a big stain on the Padres drafting."

Padres Salvage One of Three, Stay Two Up on Giants | Chicken Friars | A San Diego Padres Blog

He's a cool dude

I chatted him up before Sunday’s game when he was at the dugout. We compared Yodas, etc.

Did you... touch him?

No, but maybe I will on Saturday in SF

And then I won’t wash my hand, and then when we hang out next, I’ll touch you too. So transitively, you’ll have touched him as well.

The Giants are the team to beat. I accept that.

I also accept that we’re beating them.

Oh internet, what a wicked web you weave.

This.

Oh, perspective

If the scout were talking to a sanfran writer, he’d say San Diego is the team to beat. They can’t be their own team to beat.

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

Guys beat themselves all the time.

I’m sure half of GLB is doing it right now.

I never said they don't

In the inverse situation, the Padres are the team to beat. If they weren’t, then Sanchez wouldn’t be talking about them.

“They can’t be their own team to beat” in the context of an external conflict-dependent relationship doesn’t mean a team can’t ruin their own chances.
